The gesture controller is a revolutionary and unique way to steer your boat remotely. By using bluetooth signals, it is possible to control the autopilot from anywhere on the boat within 10 meters. Just push, hold the button, point to the desired heading and release to let the autopilot redirect the boat!

With Fantum Feedback™, NAVpilot outboard/sterndrive installations no longer require use of a physical rudder feedback unit. NAVpilot software clears the path to a simplified installation, while also delivering enhanced steering control

The SABIKI™ mode on NavPilot-300 lets the autopilot control while you are drifting astern, so you can focus on fishing instead of steering. Moving astern at a slow pace, the SABIKI™ mode is uniquely tailored for SABIKI™ fishing, jigging and bottom fishing. SABIKI™ fishing requires a bit of technique and no matter if you just started or have considerable experience, the SABIKI™ mode will help you catch the bait fish you need to bring in your big catch!

FishHunter™ mode is a unique feature of Furuno’s NAVpilot series. Find a fish target with your Furuno sonar/sounder or bird target with your Furuno radar and feed it to the NAVpilot. The NAVpilot will activate the FishHunter™ mode to perform square, zigzag, circle, orbit, spiral or figure-eight maneuvers around the specified target at a user selected distance. This feature can also be used for man overboard (MOB).

*RRU (Rudder Reference Unit) required to enable FishHunter™ mode on NAVpiot-711C/OB models.
*FishHunter mode and NAVpilot-300's FishHunter™ Drive for Suzuki outboards are different features with their own requirements.

 

A Furuno and Suzuki partnership delivers new FishHunter™ Drive features leveraging Suzuki's precision control, which automatically adjusts tilt and trim at designated engine RPM. 

FishHunter™ Drive features are available on the NAVpilot-300 with a range of Suzuki outboards outfitted with both hydraulic steering and dometic optimus electronics steering systems, including the DF140BG, DF115BG, DF150AP, DF175AP, DF200AP, DF250AP, DF300AP, DF300B, DF325A, and DF350A. With speed control, the boat will run at a preset speed, adjusting engine RPM as needed to account for changes in wind and tide to maintain a constant speed.

Route Smoothing™ decreases the speed of turns as the boat approaches waypoints while navigating an active route. If the boat speed is too fast when approaching a turn, the boat can overshoot the waypoint, resulting in an undesirable deviation.

Point Lock™ maintains a fixed boat position by controlling the rudder and throttle, countering the effects of wind and current which are constantly working to move the boat. Point Lock™ is an invaluable tool for fishing a wreck or reef, and is also for boaters who occasionally have to wait for a bridge to open so they can pass.*

SABIKI™ Lock is designed for fishermen and takes advantage of the SABIKI™ fishing mode available with the NAVpilot-300 autopilot. With Furuno’s SABIKI™ mode, the helm is steered automatically by the NAVpilot to maintain vessel position while the angler needs only to adjust the throttle to maintain a fixed position. FishHunter™ Drive's new SABIKI™ Lock expands upon this functionality by controlling both the rudder and throttle to maintain vessel heading, freeing the angler to focus 100% on jigging and other vertical fishing.
